Sound Transit and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are beginning the environmental analysis for the North Corridor Transit Project, part of the Sound Transit 2 Plan approved by voters in 2008.
The first step to developing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is called “scoping.” Scoping provides an opportunity for the public and agencies to learn about and provide comments on the project as environmental review begins. You can comment on aspects including the proposed purpose and need of the project and potential route and corridor alternatives, including I-5 and SR 99.
You are invited to a public scoping meeting:
- Tuesday, October 11, 2011: Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline
- Thursday, October 13, 2011: Embassy Suites Hotel, 44th Ave W, Lynnwood
- Tuesday, October 18, 2011: Ingraham High School, 1819 N 135th St, Seattle All meetings will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. A presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m.
ST is interested in your comments and has provided multiple ways to make your thoughts known:
- Comment online
- Mail: Lauren Swift, Sound Transit, 401 S Jackson St., Seattle, WA 98104
- Attend a public meeting (see above) Comments will be accepted until October 31, 2011.
NORTH CORRIDOR “TECH TALK!”
Do you want to know how the project team got to this point? Join an online panel discussion.
Via live streaming, the project team will discuss and answer questions about the federal Alternatives Analysis process, how early public comment was used to develop potential alternatives, and criteria used to evaluate potential alternatives.
If you are interested in technical aspects of project development, this is for you.
Log on: Friday, October 7, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. To participate, go to this link (sorry - PCs only)
You will be able to email your questions during the live discussion.
For more information, email the project team or call Roger Iwata, Community Outreach Corridor Lead, at 206-689-4904.
Where are all the whiners from Point Wells who were concerned about light rail and traffic at 185th & Aurora?
ReplyDeleteThat's right, they don't really care about the rest of Shoreline, it was all a public relations ploy to get sympathy from the rest of the city. So the city got a no bid contract for less than the maximum professional services ceiling, lets play a game to find out if they exceed it on behalf of Richmond Beach.
